THE Committee appointed by Congress to draw
mp in proper form Declaration Of the Indepen-
dence Of the American colonies consisted Of
Thomas jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Frank
lin, Roger Sherman and Robert r. Livingstone.
The Declaration adopted was written by Thomas
Je6erson.l
ADOPTED July 4TH, 1776.
When. in the course of human
events, it becomes necessary for one
people to dissolve the political bands
which have connected them with an
other, and to assume, among the pow
ers of the earth, the separate and equal
station to which the laws of nature
and of natures God entitle them, de-
cent respect to the opinion of man
kind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the
separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evi-
dent: That all men are created equal !;
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights, that
among these are life, liberty and the
pursuit to happiness. That to secure
these rights, governments are institut-
ed among men, deriving their just
powers from the consent of the gov
erned; that, whenever any form of
government becomes destructive Of
these ends, it is the right of the people
to alter or to abolish it, and to insti-
tute q new government, laying its
foundation on such principles, and or
ganizing its powers in such form, ~
to them shall seem most likely to ef-
feet their safety and happiness. Pru-
dence, indeed, will dictate that govern
ments long established, should not be
changed for light and transient causes
and, accordingly, all experience hath
shown, that mankind are more dis
posed to suffer, while evils are suffer
able, than to right themselves by abol-
ishing the forms to which they are &C.
customed. But, when . long train Of
abuses and usurpations, pursuing in
variably the same object, evinces de-
sign TO reduce them under absolute
despotism, it is their right, it is their
duty, to throw of such government,
and to provide new guards for their
future security. Such has been the
patient sufferance of the colonies, and
such is now the necessity which con.
strains them to alter their former sys.
TENS of government. The history oi
the present King of Great Britain is q
history Of repeated injuries and usur'
pations, all having, in direct object
the establishment of an absolute ty'
ranny over these States. To prove
this, let facts be submitted to a candid
world:
He has refused his assent to laws
the most wholesome and necessary fol
the puDllc gOO0.
He has forbidden his governors te
pass laws of immediate and pressing
importance, unless suspended in theil
operation till his assent should be OBJ
tained; and, when 30 suspended, III
has utterly neglected to attend u
| them.
He has refused to pass other law'
for the accommodation of large dis
tricts of people. unless these people
| would relinquish the right of represen
| tation in the Legislature; right in
estimable to them, and formidable Il
tyrants only.
He has called together Legislative
| bodies At places unusual, uncomtort

Ever since the result of the May
drawing Of the Louisiana State Lottery
At New Orleans became known in
this city, rumors have been current all
over town that the bulk of the capital
prize Of $4,000 had been won here
by . number Of lucky resident share
holders in the winning number, l5,.
766.
To ascertain If there was any truth
in the tale, Cal reporter went on .
prospecting tour yesterday among the
banking-houses, thinking some of
then, might have managed the collec-
ton OF any prizes drawn at New Or
leans. His inquiries met with signal
success. Henry Wadsworth, cashier
of Wells, Fargo & Co.'S bank here.
made the following statement to the
Calls representative. He said: "Yes,
it is fact that we have done the col
lecting of . large eum Of money drswn
in the Louisiana Lottery ON May 10th
last. We have 80 far collected and
paid over to patrons here Sc, 600 out
of $15O,OOO. The tickets which we
handled were six one-tenth coupons,
and each represented an interest of
$15, 600 in that big sum-"
The matter of locating the lucky
winners was more difficult. After
following large number of clews, the
reporter succeeded in discovering not
one alone Of fortunes favorites, but
twenty of them. They were all ladies.
In cosy room at the Collonnade
House. 1920 Market street, was found
Mrs. Kelly, one Of the winners. The
lady told the story Of how she had
made the venture ~ follows: "For
long time I was ~ much interested in
the lottery drawing - if had the
lucky numbers, but somehow or other
/ could never get up courage enough
to invest in the scheme. / was afraid
that l was too unlucky to get anything.
But little while back I gave party
to my friends-there were about TWEEN.

evening the question of lottery tickets
came up. More out Of fun than any.
thing else We proposed to get up . pool
and buy some tickets. We were not
all willing 70 join, but after some talk
We made up . pool Of 80 and bought
twenty one-tenth coupons. This wss
in March. just before the drawing.
When the list came out, We found our
tickets had won only 80. This was
better than nothing, and we again
made up another pool Of 90. Well,
the April drawing won 10 go. We
put it al in again. and in May We got
the tenth Of $4,000. That gives N
$3.50 apiece, which, I think, il . big 70.

are going to keep on and try our luck
again in June, - We now are sure
that there are prizes to Be won."
Mrs. Kelly declined TO give any Of
the names Of her fortunate friends
who were in the pool, on the ground
that they did not desire any mention

Editor Erchdaqe:

Editor Exchange:
Thinking that the good people of
Milan and vicinity would like to know
the cause of the suspension of the
building of the Tenn. Cent. and Ala.
r. R., | wish to say through the col
umns Of your paper that | interviewed
Col. Scott, president of said road, as
to the cause of said suspension, in
which interview he gave the following:
Col. Scott said when the work was
commenced he had assurances that he
could get all the rails necessary for
the building of his road, hut upon
making demand for the rails he was
informed that the demand for rails
had been SO great that it would be
impossible to supply the same at any
early date ; that he could not get a
promise for earlier delivery than Nov.
which meant Dec 1st at Cairo, ILL.,:
that by that time the surface of the
road would be very soft; that it would
lie impossible for him to lay his track
at that time to any advantage; that
using the road through the winter and
spring would be very injurious to the
rails aud road bed that the track
would necessarily have to be taken up
In the early summer, which would be
very heavy expense, with but little
or no return from the road that he
would also have to lose the use of all
money invested in the road during
the winter and spring. Col. Scott is
new paying any and all debts which he
has made, and will pay the same in
full tefore the next pay day. He
has also left all the tools and machin>
cry en- hand here.
Col. Scott gave me all assurances
that the road had not been sold that
everything was all fright; that the
building of the road would be com
menced in the early spring and pushed
to an early completion. l am salts
fed that Col. Scott meant all he said
and that he is not only acting in his
own interest but 10 the best interest
of Milan, for we will certainly get a
better road by The delay. Since writ
ing the above an order has been sent
the surveyors to complete the survey
and location of the road from Milan
to Lexington, which is now being
done. e. w. MARTIN.

the literary people of the city to
manifest their preferences for
novels by sending in ten of their
choice. The result is that Victor

first choice.
This small straw indicates
strongly the radical tendency of
thought. No person can read
Hugo's lies Miserables" and re-
sist being inoculated by the rad

Another significant straw in
connection with the answers to

Miserable Millions.

1t is impossible for a man with
a good heart to be satisfied with
this world as it now is. No man
can truly enjoy even what he
earns-what he knows to be his
own-knowing that millions of his
fellow-men are in misery and want.
When we think of the famished,
wefeel that it is almost heartless
to eat. To meet the ragged and
shivering makes One almost
ashamed to be well-dressed and
warm-one feels as though his
heart was as cold as their bodies.
In a world filled with millions
and millions of acres of land wait
ing to be titled. where one man
can raise the food for hundreds.
yet millions are on the edge OF
famine. Who can comprehend
the stupidity at the bottom of this
truth?
Is there to be no change?-

Vincennes News.
The preachers are beginning to
learn that the Bible is loaded.
At ministers meeting in New
York recently one clergyman,
who must be something of a wag,
moved a resolution indorsing the
principles laid down in Holy Writ,
such as THE land shall not be
sold," etc, whereupon a good
brother excitedly moved to lay
the resolution on the table. "What,
lay the Bible on the table" ex-
citedly exclaimed the author of
the resolution. in amazement. But
that is just what was done. the
majority of the preachers voting
to table it. 1t was a funny cir
cumstance, but it conveys a great
big lesson which the plain people
will readily learn.

THE REFORMED MINISTER.
He Leaves the Church and the Major
ity Of His Parishioners
Will Follow.

New YoRK, Dec. 26.-Two hun
dred members of the Bellville Av-
enue Congregational church Of
Newark, presented their retiring
pastor, Rev. H. O. Pentecost, with
an elegant gold watch and chain
last night.
The testimonial was accompa-
MED by communication, in which
his late parishioners expressed
their regret at the necessity
which compelled him to leave the
church.
When departing, hundreds Of
friends in the congregation shook
hands with the pastor, and almost
without exception, assured him OF
their determination to follow in
the new departure.
From this it may be inferred the
days of the Bellville Avenue Con-
grega.ional church are numbered.
At an expense Of $40 per night,
which he will pay out of his own
pocket, Mr.. Pentaeost will begin
services at Library hall on Market
street next Sunday night. Pre-
parations are now being made for
lectures to be held in New York
and Brooklyn on Sunday morn
ings and afternoons.
The new enterprise will be call
ed "Unity Congregation" with the
motto of freedom, fellowship and
character in religion. The church
condition is fellowship on no
dogmatic tests, but welcome all
who wish to help establish truth,
Righteousness and love in the world.

THE NEW YEAR.

The past year has been one
marked indelibly with the blood
of some of the bravest and best in
Labor's ranks. The year 1887
will go into history as Labor's
bloody year, and the sacrifices
made by the heroes whose lives
were offered up in defense of
Right and Justice will furnish in
spiration for coming generations
to fight to the finish the battle
which will be bequeathed to them.
In the hope that the coming year
may not bring to Labor's bravest
champions as bitter a cup as was
theirs during the year past. let us
hail it as a Happy New Year.

Why did not the mayor and the

could stop the prize-fght but did
not try. The mayor and the
ministers know they cannot
stop the vice and immortality
amongst the female wage-slaves

are all that poverty can make
them, by the use of measures they
propose to adopt. There is a
great deal of buncombe in the
spasmodic morality of the mayor

FOR THE WIDOWS AND ORPHANS.

Tomorrow Sunday evening at
East Turner hall the German Sec
ton of the S. L. P. will give an
entertainment for the benefit of
the widows and orphans of the
murdered anarchists. No nobler
object could claim the support of
workingmen and women and it is
to be hoped that grand success
will be made of the affair.
After II o'clock rattle for pic
lures of "the eight" and several
standard Socialistic books will
take place and this feature itself,
it is hoped, will add largely to the
financial success of the affair.
Let all turn out and help swell
the receipts for this grand pur-
pose. 1t is duty we owe to those
widows and orphans-to see that
they want for nothing. Let all
who realize this give their attend
ance and what financial aid they
may be able on tomorrow night
at East Turner hall.

THE SOCIAL LEAGUE.

The session of the Social League
which was to have been held on
tomorrow Sunday night, will be
held instead at o'clock p. m.
A specially prepared program
has been made out and will be
presented at the opening meeting
in Lyceum hall, corner Fourteenth
and Lawrence streets. The change
from the usual hour (7:3o p. m.)
of holding the meeting of the
League was made necessary on
account of the festival and ball
which will be given by the Ger
man Section S. l.. P. for the bene-
fit of the widows and orphans of
the men who were killed in Chi
cago on November II,
